I will be visiting Cogne alone in August and hope to walk in the Gran Paradiso National Park. Do you reckon its safe (Middle-aged female!) Any hints for nice mountain trails - not too taxing. Also spending a few days in La Primula Hostel in Menaggio. Any suggestions on nice hikes around there?

Molly...I've been to Cogne and, I must say, was unimpressed. I've not yet been to Menaggio; I've saved this for my soon-to-be trip and it's about the hikes you ask about...

Tuck!
You're a star!
Will add this to my (previosly recommended by you)planned trek from Chamois to Breuil! Bought a book today ("Walking in Italy's Gran Paradiso"by Gillian Price) with a few suggested hikes around Cogne so I won't have a sole on my boots by the time I get back home.
Will let you know what I think of Menaggio.
